\"Tappan<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The weekend in Connecticut was lots of fun. I got to see my folks, my brother, and my best friend. There was a lot of talking.<\/p>\n

I watched the parade, some old and a new-to-me holiday movies, and a nice chunk of the Great Performances<\/em>‘ taping of Holiday Inn<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There were old favorites consumed and new favorites sampled. I helped bake rolls, roll pie dough, mash potatoes, and make gravy. I decorated several dozen spritz cookies. I drank hot egg nog and ate gingerbread cake.<\/p>\n

\"Evidence<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I helped my parents set up Christmas trees (or, at least, to get them indoors) and did some Christmas shopping.<\/p>\n

I vegged in front of the fire, finished some knitting, and got a little reading done. I did not get to go through many of my boxes in the basement.<\/p>\n

And while there was a lot of time in the car, there was no time in the office for six whole days!<\/p>\n

I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
